Zooey, what do you mean? Blocked out from this site?

Thanks for being you.

I’m noticing more and more sites doing that. I kinda thought the for-profit Internet would have transitioned to this long ago, but it’s taken longer than expected. They got many of us hooked with “free” media content, and some went to pay walls, which often failed.

Now, I think they’re going to summaries of articles, and if you want the whole thing, you have to register at least, if not sign up for a paid subscription.

Some sites hope you don’t know about clearing your cookies and history, like the Washington Post, which blocks you and asks for your money after two articles. If you have your browser set to clear all data, just close it and open it again, but this, too, they’ll figure out.

It was inevitable. Too many ways of blocking ads, and they know this. So they have to keep afloat somehow. And, unfortunately for our side, not that many leftist publications have sugar daddies. The right seems to have all they need.
